It might be time to go.
If it is, well, 14 years was a good run....
A minister at a mega-church got into trouble for saying that the newly selected Supt. of Schools in Deer Park ISD wasn't qualified to lead the district because she is " an alphabet person."
And a bunch of people are jumping on the bandwagon because the lady saying she isn't qualified because she is an "alphabet person."
Why now? The lady in question had been an administrator for Deer Park ISD for over a decade.
Why that particular sin?
Why not people who are fornicators? Or divorced without reason? And I remember when being divorced was only for one reason. Maybe two....2000 years ago whipping the hell out of your spouse wasn't a biblical reason for divorce. But I don't think you need to stay with them, because next time, you may wind up at the undertakers., yet, there are ministers who think you should try and 'work it out.' Literally ministers who think you should be able to " spank your spouse." ( It depends on the spanking.....You might both be into it. Not for disciplinary reasons....Then again, in the process, one of you might say, " I've been a bad girl.....or boy...." Not my thing, but if it's yours, go for it...) But beating your spouse? No.....Get the hell out of there....
Is it because about half the church is or has shacked up with someone else, or Saturday night, you " hooked up" with some nasty ass guy or girl in the backseat of your car, or do it behind the venue against the brick wall? Someone you'll never see again? Asking for forgiveness knowing good and well, next weekend, you're going to play " slap and tickle " with someone new.
Or divorced because you " were not happy?"
Hell, it's the reason why half the people quit their jobs. Do you think I was always happy at Buna HS? Worse paying district in Region V Area? ( Seriously) Had to deal with teachers who I could not stand? They couldn't teach a dog to scratch a flea? ( And there were teachers I really like and call my friends to this day, who were brilliant, teachers and brainpower... Supt. of Schools who treated teachers like dirt, showed favoritism. Did experimental programs to show their next position what programs they implemented? And the teachers had to do that program knowing next year, it'll be a new superintendent and some silly/stupid program. Who hadn't taught in 20 years. )
And don't tell me " Not me." You know good and well, there are people in the church doing stuff they shouldn't.
But the preacher goes after alphabet people because, well, they are an easy target....God forbid he preaches against heterosexual sins. Heck Jesus even went after heterosexual sin pretty hard.....
God forbid he talks about idolatry. And how many love that money, more than God and preach against it....Might hurt that offering this Sunday. And covet? Heck, most of American economics is based up folks needing the next iphone or a Coach purse, or a new Dodge Hellcat to show off because Johnny has one.
And railer? Heck, it might be my worse sin?
If you went after all the teachers involved in sins, especially those involved in those sins that Paul talks about....Well, good luck finding anyone to be administrators, teachers, whatever.....Are you going to fire everyone who got divorced? I can remember when Baptist preachers who divorced were disqualified, same with deacons. But apparently, we are short preachers and gotta take what we can get.) ( Going to get in trouble here.)
I don't know. If you're going after one group, go after them all.
But, you got to keep that job. Preachers at some churches get a big paycheck....Really big...
I don't know, sometimes we need to go after everything, even stuff that is hard to speak against, and sometimes, there are things that happen for a purpose......Hosea married a woman of the evening, and scholars say two of the 3 kids Gomer ( the wife) had were probably not Hosea's. Hosea even had to pay to get her back at one point. Never mind she'd run off to commit adultery....
Might need pull that plank out of your own eye first....Lord knows I do. And I'm brave enough to tell y'all my faults....And sometimes it is difficult to do....
